Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to get to Pobitara Madam Curie Women's Hostel from Guwahati?

We recommend taking a pre-booked taxi from Guwahati airport or city directly to the hostel. It's a journey of about 4-5 hours, and while buses are an option, a private car offers comfort and allows you to stop for refreshments. The drive itself offers glimpses of rural Assam, a lovely introduction to the region.

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see near Pobitara Madam Curie Women's Hostel, given its proximity to Nameri?

While Nameri is a tiger reserve, spotting a tiger is rare and requires immense luck. We love Nameri for its incredible birdlife – think hornbills, kingfishers, and various water birds. You're also likely to see elephants, deer, and a variety of primates. The real magic here is the immersive jungle experience and the sounds of the wild.

What should we pack for a stay at Pobitara Madam Curie Women's Hostel, especially considering it's a guesthouse?

Pack light, breathable clothing in neutral colours for jungle walks and birdwatching. Definitely bring insect repellent, a good pair of walking shoes, a hat, and sunscreen. Since it's a guesthouse, don't expect luxury amenities like hairdryers, but do bring a power bank as electricity can be intermittent.

What are the dining options like at Pobitara Madam Curie Women's Hostel, and is it advisable to eat there?

We found the home-style meals served at the hostel to be simple, fresh, and delicious – a true taste of Assamese cuisine. Eating at the hostel is highly recommended for convenience and authenticity. They cater to dietary needs if informed in advance, and it's a wonderful way to connect with local flavours.

Is Pobitara Madam Curie Women's Hostel suitable for solo female travellers, and what is the general safety like?

Absolutely. As a women's hostel, safety is paramount, and we felt very secure during our stay. The staff are attentive and helpful, and the atmosphere is welcoming and communal. It's an ideal base for solo female travellers looking for an authentic and safe experience near Nameri.
